With a uniquely high elevation, the water views stretch for miles out to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, Tampa Ship Channel and Egmont Key. There is nothing else like this on the island! A visionary architectural endeavor in 2005 and 2018 recreated this home to include glass ensconced waterfront lanais and a new level of quality construction, providing peace of mind and supreme confidence even in rough weather. Windows, doors, the façade and building envelope were all created new with an attention to detail that was nothing short of extraordinary. The commanding facade, adorned with distinguished brickwork and stately columns, leads to a double-door entry, setting the stage for what lies beyond. Inside, discover 4600 square feet of interior space and 7,495 square feet of total living. A grand two-story foyer sets the tone for the expansive great room that opens up to 180-degree water views, stretching as far as the eye can see. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame Tampa Bay, Egmont Key, and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge to the east, while the west showcases stunning sunset views over the Key Royale Golf Club. This home is truly perfect for the discerning Buyer with its vaulted ceilings, 42’ great room, and private elevator connecting all levels from the garage up to the primary suite, strategically designed as a penthouse living experience. It is an exclusive oasis with a private waterfront balcony and Owner’s lounge featuring a wet bar. The custom built-ins of the spacious primary closet and ensuite bathroom with soaking tub and generously sized walk-in shower, pamper and indulge. An adjacent room with closet and skylight can serve as either a work-out space, home office (it is currently the home's security hub) or darling nursery. The main living level, hosting three more bedrooms, embraces the beauty of its location and expansive vistas with full walls of glass and waterfront balconies. Venture outdoors to discover a screened entertaining space at the water’s edge, ideal for dining and lounging by the plunge pool. A deep-water dock, supported by concrete reinforced pilings, stands ready for a boat lift and kayak launch. Double seawalls provide extra security in challenging weather conditions. With hurricane impact windows/sliders/doors, 5-zone HVAC, smart home capabilities, closed-circuit interior/exterior cameras, and a lifestyle above the Base Flood Elevation level, this home ensures easy living and that all important peace-of-mind. Adding to the allure and appealing to a passionate collector, is the unique side-entry, air-conditioned garage with workshop capable of holding a prized collection of up to 8 cars, a secure weather-proof haven for RV’s or dry boat storage with incredible “swing room†via an approximate 42' garage opening.
